AS/400 HELP
"PRINTMON"
PRINTMON
watches your AS/400 printers (up to 200). It uses the API ‘QGYRPRTL’ in library QGY. PRINTMON
refreshes itself every 10 seconds.
PRINTMON
was written and tested at
V5R1. As with all programs using APIs
be aware that the formats may get bigger with new releases. You may have to
make a few mods for a subsequent OS/400 release.
(if you want a V3r7t to V4R5 version
e-mail me)

NOTE: Display format PRINTMONFM was compiled with WAITRCD(10) You can change the refresh rate of PRINTMON by recompiling PRINTMONFM
with a different WAITRCD time. I don’t
recommend using less than 10 seconds.
You can also use the command
CHGDSPF FILE(PRINTMON/PRINTMONFM) WAITRCD(NN) NN= the amount of seconds to wait before the screen is
refreshed. Eg 15
